In a city of expensive hotels this hotel is more moderately priced. The room was small and the bathroom also quite small. There were twin beds. Breakfast was the same every day - coffee, tea, frankfurters, bread and kasha. Our wiaiter spoke some English and tried hard to please. We did not use the restaurant for supper. The hotel is... more

We were very pleased that we had chosen the Melody. The location was excellent. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was great, with good range of hot/cold choices and fresh fruit. The guys who served it were pleasant and friendly. Reception staff varied from an extremely helpful and pleasant young woman on our arrival to a not... more

You can probably find a cheaper accommodation in St. Petersburg, however, considering everything the hotel provides, it is hard to get a better deal. Centrally located, at a walking distance from most major atractions (or all of them, if you enjoy walking -- like me!) and at a less than 5-minute walk from Gostiny Dvor metro station. Quiet neighborhood, though... more

This hotel is nothing special, but does have a significant selling point of being almost the only vaguely reasonably priced hotel within walking distance of the city centre and tourist sights. You can still expect to pay quite a bit, but this hotel is reasonable by Moscow standards. You would not want to stay for too long as the room... more

We are 2 single females who went to Moscow on vacation. This hotel was centrally located. Although it said it was one kilometer from the Kremlin/Red Square, it was more like 2 kilometers, but that's ok. If you don't mind walking the city, it wasn't a problem. The staff was helpful with limited English. The breakfast was quite good for... more

We stayed at the Melody Hotel for 2 nights in December 2008. The price was R8,000 per night which is extortionate by international standards, but cheap for Moscow. You would pay half the price for the same thing in central London. The location is fantastic - 5 minutes to Arbatskaya underground station and 15 minutes walk to the Kremlin and... more

Good place in a very central location! Mosocw is an extremely expensive city to stay in, so if you are looking for a cheaper, but still good accomodation, Melody is a god choice. It has fair rooms (maybe a little dated, but okay size and comfort), and the location is excellent! Only five minutes walk from Arbat metro and pedestrian... more

We had friends book us a room at the Melody during our last adoption trip to Russia. We were used to paying over twice and nearly 3x the price for the Marriott Hotels, so it was a welcome change! The hotel is in a quiet safe neighborhood... centrally located but has a residential feel. Beautiful Embassy Buildings and quick walk... more
